Essential Oils Uses and Remedies

I figured it would be fun to list some essential oil uses this list contains all ideas that we use in our house and they have been helpful to us, I hope they are helpful to others as well. I use essential oils from Puritans Pride, they have amazing specials right now they have oils B1G1, they also have organic oils, and their customer service is great!

I will say that we did have to spray ourselves every 30-60 minutes to keep the mosquitos away, but without all the extra chemicals and how cheap it was to make I am just fine with that!

20 drops of peppermint

15 drops of tee tree oil

10 drops Lemon essential oil

10 drops Rosemary essential oil

Combine all ingredients in a spray bottle shake well before each use because the oil separates from the witch hazel.
